All pertinent documents related to the ongoing impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, including filings of opposing parties, have been made available on the Senate’s official website for public scrutiny. 

The Senate website now features a dedicated impeachment tab managed by the Senate secretariat in its capacity as the clerk of court. This organizes all official submissions by the prosecution and the defense, as well as journals and issuances released by the impeachment court.

Senate President Win Gatchalian announced it on Sunday, ensuring transparency in the highly contentious trial against the second-highest official.

The move aims to make all relevant documents related to impeachment accessible to the public and avoid relying on posts on social media in the face of rampant disinformation.

"We invite the public to scrutinize, read, and understand the proceedings for themselves. We realize that while we, at the upper chamber, sit as senator-judges, the ultimate judges of this impeachment proceeding are the Filipino people," Gatchalian said.

The Senate secretariat is mandated to upload all documents as soon as they are introduced during the trial. 

The Senate impeachment court allotted 92 days for the trial, 62 for the prosecution, and 30 for the defense.

The prosecution is expected to devote 31 of its allotted trial days to presenting evidence in support of Article I of the Articles of Impeachment, which alleges that Duterte misused more than P600 million in confidential funds.

The court originally allotted one day for each witness, but the cross-examination of the first witness, John Mark Calilung of the National Bureau of Investigation, consumed two full trial days.

Earlier this week, Gatchalian bared that the impeachment court may ask both the rival parties to streamline their presentations after the opening week fell behind schedule, which may result in further delays.
